The decision to suspend parliament was not expected well be guaging reaction across the uk. We voted to come out and we should do it whatever way necessary. Parliament must have a say and thats what we, as ordinary, common people, Want Parliament to do, have a say. We put them there to have a say.

Rain delays play at the us open but nick kygrios is again at the heart of the storm hitting out at the atp tour saying he doesnt care if hes suspended. Good evening. Parliament will be suspended next month after the queen approved the Prime Ministers request to shut it down temporarily. It means the current parliamentary session will come to an end just days after mps return from their summer break. Theyll be back for the queens speech when the government will lay its new agenda less than three weeks before the uk is due to leave the European Union. Borisjohnson said the decision was all about moving forward with the countrys future. But it has provoked fierce political criticism from all sides. Critics criticism from all sides. Have called it a constitutional critics have called it a constitutional outrage and a smash and grab on our democracy. Scottish conservative leader, ruth davidson, said she was now considering her position. Our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg is at westminster not so long ago borisjohnson said he wasnt attracted to the idea of proroguing parliament. But he was careful never to rule this out, and action many of his critics see as deeply, deeply radical and controversial. As a new Prime Minister, he is perfectly entitled to ask for a pause, the opportunity to ask for a pause, the opportunity to set out his plans, for all sorts of things, the way he wants to run the country. But doing it now is provocative and many mps believe that this time he risks making a dangerous precedent of how things are meant to work round here. Shutting up shop at the Prime Ministers request. The gates will clang shut here for an extra few days next month. Debates wont take place, mps wont vote or stand in the way of borisjohnson. We are bringing forward a new legislative programme on crime, on hospitals, and making sure that we have the Education Funding that we need. And there will be ample time on both sides of that crucial october the 17th summit, ample time, in parliament for mps to debate the eu, to debate brexit and all the other issues. Ample time. It is not unusual for a new Prime Minister to close parliament for a short while to press reset, to announce a new programme of what they want to do. But its intensely controversial to do it now, because just as Boris Johnson is determined that we leave the eu at the end of october, even without a deal, so a huge group of mps is equally determined to try and stop him from doing that and, by squeezing their time, he squeezes their chances. One former minister told me its a declaration of war, and certainly the first big shot in a fight thats been brewing since borisjohnson moved into number ten. And the outrage is shared by senior tories, too. At a time of national crisis, Parliament Must be able to meet, to hold the government to account, to represent our constituents, the electorate, up and down the country, and it is profoundly undemocratic to shut parliament down, to stop it doing itsjob. Suspending parliament is not acceptable, its not on. What the Prime Minister is doing is a sort of smash and grab on our democracy in order to force through a no deal exit from the European Union. Whats he so afraid of . Hes acting like some kind of tinpot dictator. Frankly, its not acceptable and, if mps dont stop it, then its no exaggeration, its not hyperbole to say this is the day any semblance of uk parliamentary democracy absolutely dies. The scottish tory leaders expected to quit tomorrow after tensions withjohnson. Even though those close to her say there are personal reasons, too, and the decision is not a direct result of today. Even the speaker, who is meant to be impartial, let his fury be shown. He said hed had no contact from the government, but this move represents a constitutional outrage. He went on to say, its blindingly obvious that the purpose of prorogation now would be to stop parliament debating brexit. That would be an offence against the democratic process and the rights of parliamentarians as the peoples elected representatives. Are you ignoring parliament, mr walker . Are you ignoring parliament . Are you ignoring parliament, sir . Ignoring some questions certainly. We need to have a queens speech. We have a new Prime Minister. He needs a new legislative programme. Thank you very much. Ministers are all too aware this is controversial, and wont be surprised by an onslaught of scrutiny. Are we in a constitutional crisis . Sorry, im just going to go. Not exactly all forward about making the case today. But the move was officially sealed with the queen by a trio of conservative privy councillors, who disturbed her majestys own summer recess at her balmoral estate in the highlands today. Are you trying to avoid scrutiny in parliament . No. Certainly not. Are you worried about a legal challenge . This is a completely proper constitutional procedure. All entirely normal, the leader of the commons told us at the airport later. And brexit backers, guess what, back this, too. The Prime Minister is entitled to go to her majesty, the queen, to seek a new queens speech, particularly as a new leader and a new Prime Minister. He wants to set out his domestic agenda, and i dont think theres anything unusual about that. Nobody can deny that this parliament has really endlessly debated brexit. Its hardly talked about anything else. We know everybodys position, we know what their view is. Boris johnson wants to write himself into history as the Prime Minister who did what it took to get brexit done, but the methods he will pursue to do that could make or break him, too. Laura kuenssberg, bbc news, westminster. So this is what the next few weeks could look like mps return to westminster next tuesday. Theyd normally have had a fortnight before breaking for the Party Conferences. Most of the following day will now be taken up with the chancellor sajid javids statement on government spending. Parliament is now due to be suspended as soon as six days later. Thatll allow the government to present its plans in a queens speech on monday the 14th of october, which mps then vote on. Three days after that, europes leaders will meet in brussels, where any re negotiated brexit deal would have to be discussed. Britain is due to leave the European Union on the last day of october. It all means that mps who were hoping to block a no deal brexit before halloween, will now have very little time to do so in parliament. Our home editor, mark easton, looks at what Boris Johnsons decision to suspend parliament will mean and how it will work. Its a matter of time. By announcing a queens speech to set out its plans, the government makes it harderfor parliament plans, the government makes it harder for parliament to stop the clock as the country heads towards brexit day on october the 31st with 01 brexit day on october the 31st with or without a deal. I met constitutional expert hannah whyte on parliament square, where else . With three questions. First, what is happening . What it means practically is that mps and peers will have significantly less time to talk about anything related to brexit or otherwise before the article 50 deadline is reached the end of october. A pause and her majesty the queen. October. A pause and her majesty the queen. The queens speech ceremony emphasises the tensions between her majestys government and an independent parliament. Slamming and banging of doors, a reminder of a sometimes fractious relationship. Although audacious, on this occasion, government ministers appear to have found a constitutionally legitimate way to curb the powers of mps and peers. So, how does it work . What were seeing now is a real showdown between parliament and government. What the government has done is quite clever, because it really constrains the Time Available to people in parliament who want to legislate to try to prevent no deal. If they dont get legislation through in the next couple of weeks, it will fall and they will have to try again in october, starting from scratch and getting a bill through the commons and the lords in the limited Time Available will be very difficult. With their options are narrowing, those who oppose a no deal brexit or even a brexit at all will be anxiously discussing tactics. One group of politicians has asked scotlands top civil court to grantan has asked scotlands top civil court to grant an interim interdict to block the suspension of parliament but some believe they may already have missed their chance to delay or stop britains departure from the eu at halloween. So, question number three, can it be stopped . Broadly there are three options now. The first is to legislate. But as we discussed, that is really difficult in terms of the timing. The second is to try to bring the courts into it, but we are into uncharted territory to what view the courts would take of a challenge at this point. The third is to try a no confidence vote in the Prime Minister which could lead to an election but the thing to bear in mind is setting the date of the election is up to the Prime Minister and that could be after brexit has happened on the 31st of october. Both sides in this dispute claim the moral high ground, that their way is the truly democratic way, that history willjudge them well. But when the dust finally settles on these extraordinary political events, who, if anyone, will be honoured with a statue here at the epicentre of our democracy . Mark easton, bbc news, parliament square. So how is borisjohnsons decision to suspend parliament being viewed in other parts of the uk. Being viewed in other parts of the uk . In a moment well hear from sian lloyd whos in cardiff bay and then in belfast our ireland correspondent emma va rdy. First our scotland editor sarah smith is at balmoral where the queen met the leader of the house Jacob Rees Mogg and signed the order to agree a suspension of parliament. The queen may have had no choice other than to agree to Prorogue Parliament when she was visited here at palmyra by ministers earlier today that she will have been very clear about what the implications, potentially, could be. You can hear there are potentially, could be. You can hear there a re protesters potentially, could be. You can hear there are protesters outside the gates of our moral already. Being in scotland, the queen will have been aware of what this could mean for the union. The first minister of scotland, nicola sturgeon, has already said that she thinks Boris Johnson has now made to Scottish Independence completely inevitable. Scotland, of course, voted to remain inside the European Union. The snp say they will work with any other opposition parties to do whatever they can to try to stop a no deal brexit. But at the same time but they do believe this current political turmoil does make it more likely that scottish voters would choose to leave the uk if they were offered the choice in another independence referendum. Of course, the other big political news in scotla nd the other big political news in scotland is that we understand the leader of the scottish conservatives, ruth davidson, is now set to quit. Shes always been a fierce opponent of a no deal brexit. She didnt support borisjohnson for the leadership and has been at odds with him since he became Prime Minister. The opposite feels she can no longer defend his policies all his actions. We expect an official statement from her about that tomorrow. I will hand to my colleague, emma vardy, in belfast. Well, that move to suspend parliament has been roundly criticised by parties here in Northern Ireland except for one, the democratic unionists, the tories a bus to suspend parliament has been roundly criticised by parties here in Northern Ireland except for one, the democratic unionists, the tories partners in westminster are getting behind this strategy. Not surprising if you remember that the dups main problem was with theresa mays old withdrawal agreement, which included in it, for them, the dreaded backstop, which could have made Northern Ireland facing different treatment after brexit. They dup see this as Boris Johnson projecting that and see it as him showing the eu that he means business. But, of course, Northern Ireland is deeply divided on this. Northern ireland, the majority of people here voted to remain in the referendum. The dups rivals, sinn fein, have called borisjohnsons strategy a callous political play and its also been called disgraceful and anti democratic by others today and that is because people here opposed to brexit fear that a no deal scenario could tear apart trading links with the republic of ireland and cost thousands ofjobs. Republic of ireland and cost thousands of jobs. So, republic of ireland and cost thousands ofjobs. So, for many people today, that worst Case Scenariojust got people today, that worst Case Scenario just got a lot closer. Overall, the people of wales voted to leave the European Union but the position of the labour run Welsh Government in cardiff bay has always been that to leave the eu without a deal would be catastrophic for the welsh economy and there has been significant anger here from first minister of wales at this move, which will make it more difficult. Studio apologies for the sound quality in cardiff. Thank you all. Its been a turbulent day for the financial markets. The value of the pound has fallen following news that Prime MinisterBoris Johnson is planning to suspend parliament. The pound is down around 0. 05 against the euro and us dollar. It means £1 is worth one euro ten. And against the us currency one pound will buy you 1. 22 cents. So what do voters think of todays news . Our Political Correspondent alex forsyth has been getting the views of people in stratford upon avon. During the last days of summer on the banks of the avon, the seismic moves in westminster might seem a world away. But, at the deli cafe in the town centre, there is brexit talk. Ownerjean voted to leave and welcomes what she sees as Decisive Action from the Prime Minister. Weve had three years to do this, so mp5, i think now, let him do it. Mps, suspend parliament and get on with brexit. Some of the cafes regulars, friends from across the midlands, have a similar view. Its sad that this Little Corner of politicians who didnt like what we, the public voted for have thrown their rattles out of the pram and caused all this fuss. And ijust think boris is absolutely right. Im surprised that he can actually Prorogue Parliament but, at the same time, its not democratic what is happening in parliament. The referendum result here almost mirrored the national picture, and this town is still divided. If normal procedures are being suspended, thats always very alarming, isnt it . I think what hes doing is great, because otherwise we are not going to get the democracy, which is what 52 of this country voted for. Sophie and manuela set up a brexit cafe to get people to talk through differences. Both eu citizens, they are worried about the future. Its, you know, borisjohnsons turning into a tyrant. Weve lived with anxiety and uncertainty for more than three years, and its just getting worse. You know, he promised during the leave campaign to defend this parliamentary democracy. Cant think why, with a divided country, a government want to actually divide it even more. They are part of a local pro europe group, angry at the decision to suspend parliament. To hear it might actually happen, you cant believe it we are now no longer the fair minded, well balanced democracy we all thought we were when we were growing up. So the constitutional arguments may be raging farfrom here, but so is the row across the country about the best way out of this crisis. Alex forsyth, bbc news. Lets talk to our europe editor, katya adler. The Prime Minister is playing hard ball, does it make a new agreement with brussels more likely . Suspending parliament and the arguments for and against it at such arguments for and against it at such a crucial time in uk politics, the eu sees it as a domestic affair and thats why the European Commission and for example angela merkel, refused to comment. If you are asking me if the Prime Ministers actions today have made eu leaders sit up and smell the coffee that he is serious about a no deal brexit,
